Lightweight Transformer for EEG Classification via Balanced Signed Graph Algorithm Unrolling
Samples of brain signals collected by EEG sensors have inherent anti-correlations that are well modeled by negative edges in a finite graph. To differentiate epilepsy patients from healthy subjects using collected EEG signals, we build lightweight and interpretable transformer-like neural nets by unrolling a spectral denoising algorithm for signals on a balanced signed graph -- graph with no cycles of odd number of negative edges. A balanced signed graph has well-defined frequencies that map to…

No, it's not. I've been signed in for 21 years until you logged me out just now. But for some reason, almost every site I have a login for has decided I've logged out, on multiple unrelated machines even. Sure GMail/Google but also Apple, Mastodon, bluesky, GitHub, reddit, even some TV channels I stream. Not all at once, but over the last few days. Is this something I didn't hear about?

Wow, sending post to the US right now is absurdly expensive and very unreliable... spending a lot of energy on NZPost - not sure it's all their fault - the US is utterly munted, but things seem helluva loose.

COP30 climate pledges favor unrealistic land-based carbon removal over emission cuts, says report
An analysis of national climate plans released today at the COP30 climate summit in Brazil warns that countries are failing to carry out core work required to reduce emissions by halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation, and are instead pushing unrealistic carbon removal schemes, such as large-scale tree planting.
